A powerlifter from Gadra, Nurmahal, Amanpreet Singh, has won gold for the 11th time in the 48th Men and 40th Women Senior National Powerlifting Championship. He participated in the 120 kg category. He lifted 470 kg in squat, 302.5 kg in bench press and 330 kg in deadlift, thus lifting a total of 1102.5 kg and breaking his own national record of 1052 kg in 2016. The last national record in squats was 455 kg and 280 in bench press.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
